R. Kelly charged in Cook County with aggravated criminal sexual abuse
2019-02-23
[ChicagoSunTimes] A Cook County judge has approved a no-bail arrest warrant for embattled R&B superstar R. Kelly, who was charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse involving four victims, at least three of them minors, Friday morning, records show.

Prosecutors allege the abuse happened in instances from 1998 to 2010, records show. The minors were between 13 and 16, prosecutors allege.

Kelly’s attorney, Steven Greenberg, said early Friday afternoon that he had not been notified that his client had been charged. Greenberg has said in the past that his client denies any wrongdoing.

Kelly has been dogged by allegations of sexual impropriety for two decades. The indictment on Friday marks the first time he has been charged with any crimes since he was acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008 in a case that received international attention.

#2  So I guess the statute of limitations is decently long on this sort of thing. Would that the public's willingness to put up with it was much shorter.

#1  A fatherless fella, R. Kelly,
Played under the El. He was smelly,
And diddled their kiddies
While fiddling his ditties,
But Wells-dwellers put him on telly.
